Description

Brittany Bugbee, Elaine Doherty, and Kerry Green describe recruitment and retention work for the Woodlawn Study in this two thousand twenty-three poster. The Woodlawn Study is a longitudinal cohort of over twelve hundred Black Americans followed since the nineteen sixties. Participants were assessed at ages six, sixteen, thirty-two, and forty-two. Two decades after the last assessment, the team tried to locate survivors for an interview at age sixty-two.

Locating drew on online contact databases, genealogical records, property records, and the National Death Index. By the time of writing, over ninety percent of the target participants had been located, spread across more than twenty-five states. Mailed letters and phone calls worked best, while social media and email did not. Prior participation strongly predicted who completed the new interview.
